This paper demonstrated a high power and high beam quality diode-pumped 1319-nm Nd:YAG master oscillatorpower amplifier laser system. A thermally near-unstable resonator with four-rod birefringence compensation flat-flat cavity was adopted as the master oscillator. A solid etalon was inserted in the unidirectional ring resonator to compress the laser linewidth. Under a repetition rate of 500 Hz and pulse width of 160 μs, the master oscillator delivers an average output power of 16.8 W at 1319 nm with linear polarisation, beam quality factor M 2 = 1.16 and linewidth of 3.2 GHz. A double-pass power amplifier with two amplifier stages was employed for higher power scaling and the output power was amplified to be 25.9 W with M 2 = 1.43.
